Question

6 Factors affecting evaporation

Answer 1

Hi.......

____________________________
1.Wind assists evaporation; for example in clothes dry faster under a fan.

2. Heat assists evaporation; for example, in summer clothes dry faster than in winter.

3. Increase in surface area exposed assists evaporation; for instance, a wet cloth spread out dries faster than when folded.

4. Dryness assists evaporation; for instance, clothes dry faster in summer than during the monsoon when the air is humid.

5. Rate of evaporation depends upon the nature of the liquid; for example, petrol evaporates faster than water.

6. Vapor pressure: if pressure is applied on the surface of a liquid, evaporation is hindered.

Answer 2

The rate of evaporation is directly dependent on the temperature it’s exposed to.

The more the temperature, the more liquid it’s exposed to.

The kinetic energy increases and the liquid gets converted to vapor instead.

This increases the rate of evaporation.

You must have noticed that clothes dry at a much faster rate during summers than in winters when the temperatures are higher.
